Second Severn Crossing JLP01_60568_12

Second Severn Crossing, M4 Motorway, New Passage, Pilning and Severn Beach, South Gloucestershire. An aerial view looking north-east along the River Severn, showing the Second Severn Crossing in the foreground with the Severn Bridge beyond.
The Second Severn Crossing took four years to build and was a joint civil engineering project between Laing Civil Engineering and the French company GTM. The work started in April 1992 and the opening ceremony later took place on 5th June 1996. The crossing is a cable-stayed bridge which stretches over 5000 metres across the River Severn connecting England and Wales, 3 miles downstream from the Severn Bridge which opened in 1966

EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial print captures the magnificent Second Severn Crossing in all its glory. Standing tall and proud, this cable-stayed bridge stretches over 5000 meters across the mighty River Severn, connecting England and Wales. In the foreground, we see the impressive structure of the Second Severn Crossing, while beyond it lies the iconic Severn Bridge. The construction of this engineering marvel was a joint effort between Laing Civil Engineering and French company GTM. It took four years to complete, with work commencing in April 1992 and culminating in a grand opening ceremony on June 5th, 1996. This monumental project showcases not only human ingenuity but also symbolizes unity between nations. As we gaze upon this image from above, our eyes are drawn to the intricate details that make up this architectural masterpiece. The sleek lines of the bridge harmoniously blend with its surroundings as it spans across one of Britain's most significant rivers. This photograph serves as a testament to both past achievements and future possibilities. It reminds us of how far we have come in terms of technological advancements while inspiring us to continue pushing boundaries for even greater feats. A© Historic England Archive has immortalized this momentous structure through their lens, allowing us to appreciate its beauty and significance for generations to come.
